Guest ECBucFan Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Beating Canadian will be a formidible task. They seem to be on a mission right now. However, I could see them being emotionally overhung from beating their nemisis Gunter last week. I wish Frankiln well but I believe Canadian is too strong. Sorry but thats just an honest opinion. Got to play the game though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franklin is a young team but will come out swinging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to play the game though! This isn't the first time they've beaten their nemesis, Gunter, on their way to the state title game. In fact, it's a pretty common occurrence. As much as I like the defeating of teams that always win it.. I'm not betting against Canadian. Good luck, underdogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ECBucFan Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Of course not. Canadian has won State. I do think they lost to Gunter in the Semis two of the last three years though, (or maybe it was two of three times over the past four years, or something like that). Canadian does regard Gunter as their bigest rival by far. I am not betting against Canadian, either. It should be a great game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mean that they probably know how to rebound after an emotionally draining game. Canadian gets rings.. Coincidentally, have you ever been to Gunter? Or.. that area?

Guest ECBucFan Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Definitely. I was in McKinney two weeks ago to see Argyle - Paris. I know McKinney is more suburban than rural Gunter but its in the area, as is Celina. BTW EC beat Van Alstyne in the basketball State Semis a few years ago.

Definitely more rural but you're familiar with how affluent the area is. It really is something. Celina, Pilot Point, Gunter, etc.. just nice neighborhoods and new businesses. Very, very, very few "slum" parts of town. If any. Of course, exceptions are and can be made in any situation but I really wish more people would familiarize themselves with the influences of money in high school sports.

lionpride08 Posted December 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Congrats to Canadian. Only 5 seniors on the Franklin Lion team. We made it to state a year earlier then was thought. We will be back next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian uncharistically made a ton of mistakes. They dropped lots of accurate passes, and the QB also made some bad overthrows. Canadian indeed had severe case "Gunter hangover", but resolved it in time to win State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
